OTTAWA – Questionable expense claims, a mysterious $90,000 cheque, and an arrest. Why are many senators trying to suspend without pay or benefits Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau?
Patrick Brazeau:
In November 2012, news media began reporting that Brazeau was claiming his primary residence was in Maniwaki, Que.

OTTAWA — The legal problems of suspended Sen. Patrick Brazeau appear to go deeper than his Senate housing expenses, as an RCMP document indicates the force is also probing his tax filings from before he entered the Senate.

OTTAWA – Sen. Patrick Brazeau claimed a home he didn’t own as his primary residence, didn’t stay there even when he visited, and may never have lived there over the last two years, the RCMP allege in court documents made public Thursday.
